INTRODUCTION
Institutions have developed and have grown rapidly over the years embracing diversity
and globalization among the society, contributing to the vast improvement of a certain city or
locality. Early institutions in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been difficult to
define and portray, and so, historians have been attracted to compose historical institutional
and normally focuses on specific problems that are of immediate or future importance. He added
that, historians may have been the first institutional researchers that began writing institutional
histories that normally had the exaltation of the institution as their prime reason for being.
(Lawrence, Suddaby, & Leca, 2011) also claimed that research on institutional work not only
examines the practices of individual and collective actors aimed at creating, maintaining, and
disrupting institutions but also can contribute to bringing the individual back into institutional
theory, help to re-examine the relationship between agency and institutions, and provide a bridge
In recent years a surge of interest in the history of American higher education has
produced a new genre of institutional histories, which focus more critically upon the individual
college's development. For example, recent histories of the University of Kansas and the
University of Colorado dispassionately trace the coming of age of those two institutions with an
eye for the kinds of information institutional researchers could find helpful in understanding the
background of these and other universities of similar character. Other accounts of institutional
development tend to focus on social and economic characteristics of students, faculty, and
alumni in an effort to describe the clientele served by higher education and the social effects of a
According to (Castro, 1971) in her book, “The Role of Universities in the Developing
Philippines”, historical and geographical evidence have established the developmental nature and
functions of the university -- teaching, research, service. The university is essentially the same
wherever it is and in different periods of history. The variation lies in the degree of emphasis on
certain functions according to the needs of the time and place. The guidelines for appraisal
embody the meaning and scope of the university functions. Teaching involves the teacher,
student, curriculum, and setting -- both the physical and the cultural climate. Research -- basic,
applied, or action -- involves staff, funding, and management. Service -- advisory, in-service
level
Other example was “The History of Negros Oriental State University, Bais CampusII: An
Analysis on its Establishment and Development” (Valencia & Real, 2015) whom stated that past
events shape and influence the present and the future just as people make history and history
shapes people. It is in documenting and studying history that we can understand our past and the
essence of our identity. But in the case of an educational institution, its real essence and purpose
does not begin and end with its establishment, but is understood through the totality of the
beginning of establishment, the problems encountered and the core people involved in the
matter. The significance of this study is not only to highlight the contributions of Diaz College to
the city and to the Tanjayanons but also to give recognition to the first ever college built in
Tanjay.
The researcher always has an intention to write about the contributions of her alma mater
to the city. This study details the course of the growth of Diaz College and describes the different
stages of change and development from its initial conception up to the people behind its growth
and what it is today. Through this, we can visualize how it will become in the future. This
research will also describe how its mission and vision relate to the present day situation of the
college.
In addition, within this work, it is also stated the development in the course curriculum
which has undergone major and minor changes as the college bends to demand as well as to

the development of the institution from its inception to its present; 1998, because it is the year
that the institution became Diaz College from its former name East Negros Institute and 2019,
the current year of the research. For the research, the materials used were the documents made
available from the school and city library. Other sources were tapped in order to create a feasible
Diaz College, as an institution has been constantly changing over the years, in terms of
use and its organization so this would be a reason for probable discrepancies in the totality of the
study.
The study is highly viewed as important within the context of the researcher, on the
community, and of the educational system as a whole. These are the justification to wit:
Within the context of the researcher, this work is greatly significant because she is one of
the products of the said institution and it would be an assessment of her knowledge. To the
additional knowledge to other researchers . And because it would be the first institutional history
of Diaz College, it would provide for reading materials for students, professors, and scholars, and
for scholarly and intellectual discussions in the future. Over-all, it would be a documented write
up of the means and instances that has formed what the college is today.
It is also hoped that with this research, the researcher will be able to enrich her skills in
teaching history. It is for this reason that the researcher studied the said institution from its
beginning as Diaz College up to the present: to be able to discover its nature, its general make-up
and identify the personalities behind DC. Moreover, the writing of this historical study will
contribute to the awakening of the consciousness of DCians, Tanjayanons, students, as well as
the faculty and make them aware of the past so that they will be more appreciative of the
present.
